Revisiting a Korean 1640 Alt Route After the Western Progression Changes

Historical Korean alt route with current Western context · About these guides

Check Current Progression Before Spending Gold

The source recommends Knowledge Transfer before buying a Korean Powerpass. That is an archived cost comparison, not a verified current North American discount. September’s Western progression overhaul changed story gear and the available paid pass.


The Historical Route Described by the Source
1. Create an alt and skip the prologue if the game permits it.
2. Access the Knowledge Transfer facilities in your Stronghold with the appropriate character and unlocks.
3. The article lists this continent progression order. Every transfer still depends on its actual story, roster, item-level, and access requirements:
North Vern → Rohendel → Yorn → Feiton → Punika → South Vern → Elgacia → Pleccia → Voldis → South Kurzan.


It quotes approximately 42,000 gold for those transfers. That is not a verified current total, and the list is not permission to bypass prerequisites or omit required story steps on every account.

The article then claims a South Rimeria pass falls from 63,000 won to 21,000 won. These are historical Korean prices, not Royal Crystal amounts or current US prices. Confirm the actual checkout before spending resources to seek a discount.


Its described result is 1640 plus eleven Level 7 gems, a Relic stone chest, and accessories. The current Western paid option is South Rimeria II Pass to 1660. Inspect its actual contents instead of assuming the old Korean bundle is included or sufficient for every raid.

The proposed trade of 42,000 gold for 42,000 won in savings is therefore a source scenario, not guaranteed value. Compare free eligible support and the current story route before paying.

Avoid Unnecessary Steps Without Skipping Required Ones

The source’s useful principle is to identify what your chosen goal actually requires. That is different from telling every alt to complete the same paid sequence.


It omits Rowen from its route. Rowen is not a universal compulsory stop for this particular goal, but its quests and rewards can have other uses.


The article attributes a never-do-Rowen instruction to a creator without supplying an original video or transcript. That endorsement is not independently verified here.

Skip optional work only after checking your goals and unlocks. An optional continent is not inherently worthless, and its omission does not remove prerequisites for another activity.

The Source’s Nearly-Free Pass Claim Is Outdated Advice

The alternative promises a 1,000-won pass after additional in-game progression. It should not be presented as a current checkout trick.


Its Old Proposed Sequence
1. Spend around 42,000 gold to reach the source’s stated 1585 setup. Current Western South Kurzan completion instead grants a 1600 story set.
2. The article then hones from 1585 to 1600. The September Western update removed ordinary honing from the relevant Tier 3 upper Ancient gear; this is no longer a valid universal instruction.
3. It claims reaching 1600 reduces the old pass to 1,000 won. That price is not verified for the current Western product.


Under the Western overhaul, completing the applicable North Kurzan story grants a 1640 Tier 4 set. Story access, Knowledge Transfer conditions, and support-event eligibility still need checking. Compare those current routes with the actual 1660 pass offer rather than following an expired Korean discount model.
